Nearby geographic locations using the name include Caribou Harbour, a bay on which the community is situated, as well as the communities of , and Caribou River.

The service, operated by Northumberland Ferries Limited since its inception in 1941, carries passenger, vehicle and truck traffic to Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island between May and December.
